The certification program is highly rigorous, requiring hundreds of hours of theoretical training covering materials science, vehicle body mechanics, and paint systems, combined with extensive hands-on practice. Technicians must pass multiple examinations. Repaired panels are tested using precision instruments measuring paint thickness, hardness, gloss, and color deviation to ensure the result is not only visually […]
At a technical session during the 2025 SEMA automotive aftermarket exhibition, experts from KECO Body Repair Products emphasized how glue pulling-when combined with traditional PDR methods-can address dents caused by minor collisions, hail damage, and shallow panel deformation. The technique uses specially designed glue tabs, bridges, and pulling tools to draw dents outward from the […]
The report highlights that PDR services include both traditional workshop repairs and mobile/on-site repair services, mainly applied to dents caused by hail damage, minor collisions, and parking-related impacts. Key growth drivers include: Rising consumer demand for fast and cost-effective repair solutions Continuous growth in global vehicle ownership, leading to more minor body damage incidents Insurance […]
To address the challenges posed by modern vehicle materials-such as aluminum alloy panels and carbon-fiber structures-as well as increasingly complex body designs, the latest generation of PDR equipment integrates visual detection, precise dent mapping, and real-time micro-adjustment tools. These technologies allow technicians to identify dent locations, depth, and metal tension more accurately, leading to faster […]
According to MarketersMEDIA News Center, DentWerx emphasizes the use of PDR technology to eliminate conventional repair steps such as sanding, fillers, and repainting. This significantly reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, lowers energy consumption, and minimizes repair-related waste. In addition to environmental benefits, PDR offers faster repair turnaround times, preserves factory paint quality, and helps […]
In November, UK car production reached approximately 63,126 units, down 1.7% year-on-year. Stability was supported by Jaguar Land Rover’s return to production after a nearly six-week shutdown caused by a cyberattack, as well as Nissan starting EV production in Sunderland. However, when including commercial vehicles, total vehicle output still fell 14% compared to last year. […]
